Subject: RE: Truck won't take gas after installing flatbed.



Statesville, NC
I have built a couple flatbeds and never had a problem with the fuel flow to the tank. It really doesn't take much slope if it's vented properly. I'm not sure what you are asking about the small line needing to be cut off, but I think it needs to be as long as possible and go all the way into the tank. Some have a vent tube going beside the fuel tube, and some have the type with a hose inside a hose, and the inside smaller hose where the fuel flows and the outside is the vent. In that case if the inside hose is too short the fuel will get blown back out the outer (vent) hose. The fuel coming out of the small hose needs to go past where the large vent hose attaches to the tank, because there is a rush of air trying to go out the big hose.
